First Claim
1. A Fourier ptychographic imaging system comprising:
- an illumination system including an array of light sources;
a plate receiver system configured to receive a multi-well sample plate including an array of sample wells, and to align the multi-well sample plate with the array of light sources such that each sample well is capable of receiving light from a corresponding plurality of the light sources;
an optical system including at least one array of lenses, each lens configured to receive light from a corresponding sample well;
an imaging system including an array of image sensors, each image sensor configured to receive light from a corresponding lens and to acquire image data based on the received light; and
a controller configured to;
cause, for each scan of a plurality of scans, the illumination system to illuminate the array of sample wells in parallel and such that each of the sample wells is illuminated with light at an angle of incidence different than in the other scans of the plurality of scans;
cause, for each scan of the plurality of scans, the image sensors to acquire image data for the respective sample wells in parallel based on the illumination; and
perform a Fourier ptychographic operation to generate a reconstructed image for each of the sample wells based on the image data acquired for the respective sample well from the plurality of scans.

Abstract
In one aspect an imaging system includes: an illumination system including an array of light sources; an optical system including one or more lens arrays, each of the lens arrays including an array of lenses, each of the lenses in each of the one or more lens arrays in alignment with a corresponding set of light sources of the array of light sources; an imaging system including an array of image sensors, each of the image sensors in alignment with a corresponding lens or set of lenses of the one or more lens arrays, each of the image sensors configured to acquire image data based on the light received from the corresponding lens or set of lenses; a plate receiver system capable of receiving a multi-well plate including an array of wells, the plate receiver system configured to align each of the wells with a corresponding one of the image sensors; and a controller configured to control the illumination of the light sources and the acquisition of image data by the image sensors, the controller further configured to perform: an image acquisition process including a plurality of scans, each scan associated with a unique pattern of illumination, each of the image sensors configured to generate an image for a respective one of the wells during each scan; and an image reconstruction process during which the controller performs a fourier ptychographic operation to generate a reconstructed image for each of the wells based on the image data captured for the respective well during each of the scans.

13. A method for performing Fourier ptychographic imaging comprising:
-
illuminating, by an array of light sources, for each scan of a plurality of scans, an array of sample wells in parallel and such that each of the sample wells is illuminated with light at an angle of incidence different than in the other scans of the plurality of scans; acquiring, by an array of image sensors, for each scan of the plurality of scans, image data for the array of sample wells in parallel based on the illumination, wherein each image sensor is configured to receive light from a corresponding lens of an array of lenses and each lens is configured to receive light from a corresponding sample well; and performing a Fourier ptychographic operation to generate a reconstructed image for each of the sample wells in parallel based on the image data acquired for the respective sample well from the plurality of scans, wherein the reconstructed image has higher resolution than the acquired image data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
